Permalink MP3 to MIDI converter for use in Guitar Pro

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Is there a free or inexpensive program to convert MP3 songs to MIDI? What are you guys using to do this? I have guitar pro 5.2 right now and I saw that I can load in a midi song and it converts it to music notation. I would love to do that with some of my surf guitar songs that I have. I would then be able to learn to play the song as I am well into learning music notation. Thank you in advance for any help on this.

I'm pretty certain that there isn't free/cheap software to do this. If there is software to do this, then it's probably pretty expensive. I won't say it doesn't exist, but I will say I haven't seen any that works well.

Just think about it for a bit.

If there was software out there that could write a MIDI file from an MP3, every tab site out there would always have perfect tablature, every time. They'd just convert audio to MIDI, then MIDI to tab (which does exist).

Yes, everyone would love to have a program that changed actual music to its written representation, but it's a very difficult problem once you're away from sine waves.

Maybe in 10 years someone will come up with such a complicated program for extracting multitrack. Maybe never.
